For anybody who says or thinks they can sing like Roy Orbison. Guess what? NOBODY sings like Roy Orbison.

[@celiagorleski2716]

It's sad that so many people are now discovering these great singers after they are no longer with us. Roy R.I.P.

[@Mr54nomore]

The Man in Black had one of the greatest voices in Rock & Roll history said Elvis Presley. This song written by Roy Orbison was recorded back in (1961). Eighteen years later in (1978). Don MacLean would perform this song taking it into the top ten on Billboards top 100. Roy Orbison is a true legend and one of the most respected and liked artists ever...

[@UseByDate-Expired]

the man in black was Johnny Cash. You can't and won't find anywhere Roy was ever referred to as the man in black by anybody ... And certainly not by Elvis

[@roydownes2458]

i would argue that don macleans version is actually an improvement of orbisons original, as is chris isaaks version of 'pretty woman'. both worth a reaction, guys. :P :)

Yes, that song really touches the soul. Roy Orbison had such a beautiful voice. It soars, to the highest peak and then just when you think he is going to run out of breath he adds this heart wrenching cry to the end of the note. I also love the song "Pretty Woman". That is another great one, its a happy, song and it is so cute in this one he growls. So funny and sweet.

Roy sang sadness from the heart. He experienced so much tragedy, his wife died in his arms following a car accident and later two of his children died in a house fire while he was on tour in Europe.

[@bostonvair]

Roy Orbison was a legend. His broken heart songs hit me right in the feels, and his voice was like no other. Some other great songs to react to: Blue Angel Only the Lonely It's Over In Dreams The story about his glasses was twofold. He was painfully shy. He also had terrible vision and needed to wear his glasses to see anything. One gig he either lost or broke his regular glasses and so put on his prescription sunglasses. It ended up adding an air of mystery to his on-stage persona and he felt more comfortable in public wearing them since they hid his eyes. Due to his shyness, he basically stood motionless on stage while performing his songs, and the sunglasses just added something to his look. Thus it became a part of his persona and he wore sunglasses from then on.

[@waltmoryn48]

What A Beautiful song. I was 13 yrs old when this hit the charts back in 1961. Great Job.

She received a 4 minute standing ovation (she has basically inherited the song). When Roy was inducted into the songwriter hall of fame in May of 1989, his widow Barbara asked K.D. to perform the song on that show.

[@js3599]

Roy could see, but he needed prescription glasses. One night he either forgot, or lost his prescription glasses (Sorry, don't remember which) and it was show time, and all he had were his prescription sunglasses to wear on stage. People started talking about him wearing his shades indoors, at night. Soon, it became his trademark. It has been mentioned here several times already about his duet of this song with K.D. Lang, and they are all correct, it is AMAZING. Also, K.D's solo version of this song (Without Roy) will give you CHILLS... Hauntingly beautiful.
